Description: Renumbers all nodes in the existing database. There is also an option of creating a summary table report of the node ranges between each part. The user may renumber nodes by sequence or parts.
Usage:
1. DSI prompts:
> ENTER RENUMBERING OPTION:
2. ALL PARTS go to step 4.
3. MULTIPLE PARTS go to step 5.
4. DSI prompts for a starting node number:
> ASSIGN STARTING NODE NUMBER FOR EACH PART? (Y/N)
? YES
> ENTER STARTING NODE NUMBER FOR PART "xxxx"
• Once a number has been entered the prompt will read:
> NODE x TO xx ASSIGNED, NEXT NODE NO.: xxxx
> ENTER STARTING NODE NUMBER FOR PART "xxxx"
• These prompts will continue for every part in the database.
• If the user enters a STARTING NUMBER that already exists, DSI gives the message that the location has already been assigned and returns the user to the beginning of this step.
> RENUMBER SUMMARY IS WRITTEN ON FILE *.ntb
• Zero (0) will assign (MAX NODE NO. + 1).
NO
> ENTER STARTING NODE NUMBER, -1 TO EXIT
• Once a number has been entered, the prompt will read:
> ENTER NODE NUMBER INC. BETWEEN PARTS:
> 0 ¨C DEFAULT TO 1000, -1 ¨C NO GAP BETWEEN PARTS
• Any integer may be entered.
> RENUMBER SUMMARY IS WRITTEN ON FILE *.ntb
5. DSI prompts:
> PICK AN ELEMENT OR PART NAME OF A PART
